Writing the Novel 1-Night
Thursday, July 15
THIS CLASS IS FULL. PLEASE EMAIL US OR CALL 773.477.7710 FOR OTHER COURSE SUGGESTIONS OR TO PUT YOUR NAME ON THE WAIT LIST. OUR 8-WEEK CRAFT OF NOVEL WRITING CLASS BEGINS THIS FALL.
Writing a novel can be a daunting task. It requires an inspired balance between ideas, craft, motivation and hard graft.
But you don’t have to do it alone!
This class will root your book in daring and useful tools for getting started, focusing your efforts, and solving problems. In a wide-ranging discussion on process and craft (e.g. character, plot, voice), we will help get you writing and make crucial decisions about your book.
This one night class serves as a great introduction to the eight-week class available in the Fall.
Writer’s Roadmap
This class is great for writers of all levels ready to tackle a longer work. Students need not have any prepared pieces before class begins. After this one-night session, you may be interested in the 8-week Craft of Novel Writing course.
